Hi,
I should be getting my C+E in the next 6 weeks, and am lucky enough to have a job lined up already 
So trying to get my head around all the rules and regs.
What happens in real life when your 4.5/9/10 hours are up, you are 5 mins from destination and there is nowhere to stop?
Do we use domestic or EU regs as well as WTD?
Thanks

In that scenario you have a problem because you should have stopped earlier where there was somewhere to stop.
If you’re likely to run out of driving time when you’re within 5 minutes of your base at the end of the shift the best option would be to stop before getting into that situation and get someone to drive the vehicle back for you.

We work to EU regulations and the RT(WTD)R, domestic regulations are not affiliated to the Road Transport Working Time Regulations.
If, on an odd occasion, you find yourself 5 mins short of making base then put a manual explanation on the records and go for it
Authorities are interested if done more than an odd time
